“…Sea cucumbers belong to the phylum Echinodermata , meaning that, they are spiny-skinned, under the class Holothuridea [7,52,53]. The name holothuroid was given by the Greek philosopher, Aristotle (“holos: whole” and “thurios: rushing”).…”

“…For example, world over sea cucumber market trends reveal a considerable increase in the trade of sea cucumbers, both in terms of number of species and production yield. In addition to its large expansion in the traditional regions, holothurian fisheries have expanded to a considerable magnitude even in non-traditional fishing areas such as the Galapagos, Mexico and the North America [3–7]. …”

“…Sea cucumbers are one of the marine animals which are important as human food source, particularly in some parts of Asia [7]. They are usually soft-bodied echinoderms comprising a diverse group of flexible, elongated, worm-like organisms, with a leathery skin and gelatinous body, looking like a cucumber.…”

High-Value Components and Bioactives from Sea Cucumbers for Functional Foods—A Review

2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sea cucumbers, belonging to the class Holothuroidea, are marine invertebrates, habitually found in the benthic areas and deep seas across the world. They have high commercial value coupled with increasing global production and trade. Sea cucumbers, informally named as bêche-de-mer, or gamat, have long been used for food and folk medicine in the communities of Asia and Middle East. Nutritionally, sea cucumbers have an impressive profile of valuable nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin B1 (thiamine), Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (niacin), and minerals, especially calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. A number of unique biological and pharmacological activities including anti-angiogenic, anticancer, anticoagulant, anti-hypertension, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antithrombotic, antitumor and wound healing have been ascribed to various species of sea cucumbers. Therapeutic properties and medicinal benefits of sea cucumbers can be linked to the presence of a wide array of bioactives especially triterpene glycosides (saponins), chondroitin sulfates, glycosaminoglycan (GAGs), sulfated polysaccharides, sterols (glycosides and sulfates), phenolics, cerberosides, lectins, peptides, glycoprotein, glycosphingolipids and essential fatty acids. This review is mainly designed to cover the high-value components and bioactives as well as the multiple biological and therapeutic properties of sea cucumbers with regard to exploring their potential uses for functional foods and nutraceuticals.

“…They are usually soft-bodied echinoderms comprising a diverse group of flexible, elongated, wormlike organisms, with a leathery skin and gelatinous body, looking like a cucumber (Taiyeb et al, 2003). Sea cucumbers such as Bohadschia marmorata vitiensis, Stichopus variegatus, Stichopus badionotus extracts collected from the Malaysian coastal waters act as the appropriate source of wound healing promoter, anti-microbial, anticancer and immunomodulatory activities (Hawa et al, 1999).…”

In phylum Echinodermata, the family Holothuridae is distinguished by its capacity of bioactive compounds. Sea cucumber Holothuria atra is commonly known as the lollyfish. The antifungal activity was detected using agar well diffusion method against the various fungal strains such as Trichoderma viride, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavis, Candida albicans and Penicillium chrysogenum. Relatively high antifungal activity was seen against Candida albicans at 100 µL −1 concentration of extracts. Zone of inhibition was measured at 18 mm of diameter. The anti-tumor activities were detected against the Vero and Hep2 cell lines using MTT assay. The cells were treated with H. atra extract at concentrations 0.07810mg mL −1 . The extract showed high proliferative activity against the Hep2 cells. The body wall extracts of sea cucumber (H. atra) showed effective antifungal and antitumor activities. All these findings suggest that the extracts could be used for the development of drugs.

Cosmeceuticals Properties of Sea Cucumbers: Prospects and Trends

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cosmeceutical, a new term in the cosmetic industry, refers to cosmetic products that contain active ingredients and have medicinal benefits. Cosmeceuticals have attracted increased attention because of their beneficial effects on human health. Sea cucumbers, belonging to the class Holothuroidea, marine invertebrates, are rich in bioactive compounds, including saponin, chondroitin sulphate, collagen, amino acids, and phenols. These bioactive compounds have diverse functional roles as a secondary metabolite and these properties can be applied to the developments of novel cosmeceuticals. This review provides an overview the application of sea cucumber derivatives for cosmeceuticals. Further, prospects and trends of sea cucumber in cosmeceuticals industry were also discussed. The proper development of sea cucumber bioactive compounds will be helpful in cosmeceutical product development and industry.
